Does anyone have any ideas about replacing the horn on the car? It is embarrassing, and on a car so small I want a horn that will force people to take notice.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.

I restore Maserati cars and these are the horns I use . They are very small and very loud. I'm on year 11 with my first one.

Thanks a lot! Now I just need to figure out how to install it.

I once had a boyfriend that replaced his Harley-Davidson horn with a Mac truck air horn. He put the air-compressor in the saddlebags and the horns themselves were beautifully chromed and looked like another pipe on the side. Scared the living daylights out of me the first time he used them on the road with me on the back!
I've seen smaller versions of air horns on Pep Boys and other auto parts stores. They look reasonably easy to install.

You can use an air horn! Here's the one I use on my 2 wheelers:

Thanks a lot for the info.

Take a look at this:

You can even hear the results!
I just got the horn in via UPS and I'm about to put it on. I'll send in a full report!

This is perfect - thank you. I'm a little nervous about removing the panel, but getting the new horn will be worth the effort.

Trust me, if a girl can remove the panel without doing any damage, you'll do just fine. Make sure to give yourself 1 1/2 hours for it. I did mine last weekend -- love the new dual air horn I put in. I haven't had a chance to use it, but I tested it in the driveway. :)
PS. Make sure you have a good socket set! And there's a tricky bolt underneath the side panel and the black trim by the driver's door, you'll probably need an extra set of hands for this one. Just be patient.
PPS. Blue is positive and brown is negative.

It happened. My nightmare. My Smart car, Maxwell, was hit.
On my way home from work on Wednesday, January 13th, I was in a line of cars waiting for a red light (I was 5th or 6th in line) when I looked into my rearview mirror and saw a car coming up…
I've given out more than 200 of the pamphlets, but my dealer says they have less than a 1% return on those. It's going to take a lot more than viral videos on YouTube and current owners handing out info cards to get the kind of traffic that a well-t…
i'm seeing more smarts out and about as i drive here. my dealer has been calling me now and then, wanting me to trade my '08 for a new '09 or '10, seems they aren't moving as fast these days. i am getting tired of manually cranking the windows of my…

Chris;
Have an MPG check done on your car by the dealer (free if you're inside the warranty). You will sit in the SMART showroom reading a book or magazine while the car is taken to Mercedes for the test. At the same time, they will upgrade the tra…
TnPD;
Please see my reply to Syna. What temperature is your A/C set to? Originally, I never paid attention to the Temperature setting, and just used the black A/C switch to turn the A/C ON/OFF (it has a little red light when ON). One hot Tampa day,…
Syna,
Then we're both suffering from an over-active imagination (hehe). My Smart is a 2008 Passion and has the same mileage as your car. I can also swear that it has more pep now than when I bought it. I agree with all your MPG figures, and have ma…
